Job description

It Gets Better UK is a lived-experience-led LGBT+ youth charity, working to tackle the disproportionate mental health challenges LGBT+ young people face today, through a collection of community-sourced, lived-experience stories; educational programs; and community-building initiatives.

About the role

We are looking for a volunteer to support It Gets Better UK in securing trust and foundation funding. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys research, writing, and bringing together a compelling case for support. You’ll help us continue telling stories that inspire, uplift, and empower LGBTQ+ young people.

What you’ll do

  • Research grant-making bodies, trusts, and foundations that align with our mission.
  • Draft and edit funding applications with guidance from our team.
  • Support with tracking deadlines and requirements for applications and reports.
  • Work alongside our CEO and small team to identify new funding opportunities.

What we’re looking for

  • Strong written communication skills.
  • An eye for detail and the ability to follow funder guidelines.
  • Enthusiasm for It Gets Better UK’s mission and values.
  • Previous experience in grant writing or research is helpful but not essential — we can support you to grow into the role.
